Oh yeah, the bosses are nothing short of win in that game, especially Kolotkos.

I still hate Silent Realms, so, so very much. A tip? There's a really, really good guide on GameFAQs, (This one, to be exact) follow it to the letter, and you'll beat each Silent Realm on the first try.

Oh, trust me, the next part might be filler-ish, but it's nothing short of awesome. To wit you get that Time Boat I mentioned earlier, and also you have to fight a Robot Zombie Pirate. Also you get the bow, which I HIGHLY recommend upgrading fully as soon as humanly possibly, it is by far one of the strongest weapons in the game.

Poker Night 2

Beaten the first bounty challenge, which for me was Claptrap. Unlocked Handsome Jack's mask for use in Team Fortress 2 (which when combined with a hat on the Spy looks hysterical)

Skyward Sword

ZOMBIE ROBOT PIRATE BATTLE!!!

Sorry, had capslock on...

Beat the 3rd silent realm and am about to quench the thirst of a really massive frog statue.
EDIT-
Beat Ghirahim (lord of the dance!) and upgraded my sword to god-tier. Literally.

fought off The Imprisoned with Groose, went back in time, Zelda's a bitch in a good way, par the usual...

Now, off to find the sky god, Levias.

Poker Night 2

Second Bounty Challenge down. The Necronomicon is mine (and by extension, the Necronomicrown for the Pyro over in TF2).

Skyward Sword
BEATEN!

Holy Crap were to begin...
That damn "Song of the Hero" Arc will probably be talked about for years the same way the Triforce Shards are still being talked about today, though honestly the three dragons and Levias make it all worth it. In windwaker its just "oh look, another chunk of gold, only 5 more!" So it wasn't as bad.

Akuma Demise was a very nice final battle, especially RIGHT AFTER whooping Ghirahim on his pompous ass.The lightning was a nice and EXTREMELY creative touch.

My only overall issue was the lack of story elements that tie into future games. Demise, The Sword, and The Triforce were really the only things besides "Rescue the princess with macguffins" that tie into later titles. That, and Zelda's father, but that's very vague.

Overall though, instant classic in my book. Very well done game!

Guess again.

Borderlands 2:
Got Gaige up to level 53. This pimp E-Tech Shotgun I got really makes things easier, along with an orange Rocket Launcher. Also, even though his DLC isn't out, Class mods for Krieg are already dropping.

Ninja Gaiden Sigma:
BEATEN! Good times were had. Now to get ready for Sigma II.

I forgot about Beadle (dont shop there too often) and the two temples of time. I knew the whole bird statue thing, but never made the connection, nice. And Shiek's harp, again never made the connection.

The rest of them though just seem like nods, homages, and references, albeit really clever ones.

Aside from Levias being a Wind Fish? Literally the entire premise of Link's Awakening? Aside from that, what did you expect, them to just start name dropping things that haven't happened yet?

Namedropping? No. Stronge tie-ins to future events? Yes.

Having the original Majora thrown in as a boss at some point, or a slight glimpse into the Realm of Twilight, something like that.

(I personally count the Silent Realms separate from this, as they are trials from the godess)

Im fine with how the game ended, I just wish there were stronger connections.

Majora would have most likely have been from Termina, not Hyrule, and it's never fully explained when the Dark Interlopers made their move on the Triforce, but in all likelyhood it hasn't happened yet. (I had always assumed it was the war mentioned in Ocarina of Time, the one that took Link's parents)

Well, since were getting off canon anyway...
Majora is from the edge of the plain of reality. The legend went, if you could snatch away his armor you would gain a great and terrible power.

Majora's Mask was carved from Majora's armor after Majora died. Years later, the events of Majora's Mask took place.

However, if this is treated as canon, it presents an issue. How the hell did the mask come to life? For that matter, it was left in a crumbling plain on the edge of time, how did the mask sailsman get it?

Its also been some time since ive played, so i'm out a few details, but Majora is a mystery to me.

How it came to life? Magic.

How the Salesman got it? He's a creepy interdimensional mask salesman. It was, previously, used by an unnamed ancient tribe for various rituals, who were supposedly based out of Stone Tower Temple.

That just adds to his creepyness in all honesty, but makes sense. Wich reminds me, Majora's Mask takes place in one of three seperate timelines. It would be pretty neat if they converged all three.

Transformers Prime

Found all the relics, unlocked everything.

Skyward Sword
Mr Thunder Dragon here isn't pulling any punches. This is real difficulty. I like that, its been a while.

Also, per Shadowman's suggestion, I upgraded my Bow to its highest grade, though I haven't had the opportunity to use it yet. Its description hints at something like 'Raining down on my enemies" or...something.
I'll fire it later tonight.

Yeah, right here. The problem is, until Hyrule Historia, no one even realized that there were three timelines, most people believed in a maximum of two. It's not that they're incompatible, it's that they're so indistinguishable that combining them would go completely unnoticed.

They're going to have to update that when ALttP 2 comes rolling in. I hope its not a timeshattering gamebreaker.

Super Smash Bros Brawl
Unlocked everyone accept Toon Link, Jigglypuff, and Wolf, I would love to go back and unlock them, but The Great Maze is a great mess I can't seem to figure out! And unlocking the other 3 the traditional way would take WAY too much time.

Well...it'll take place after the first Link to the Past. It's not that complicated.

Well, if you've beaten Sub Space Emissary? Complete Boss Mode as Fox or Falco to get Wolf, finish Classic Mode for Toon Link, and Events 1-20 for Jigglypuff.

Borderlands 2:
Finally got my groove back! Got the Legendary Mechromancer class mod for Gaige, and a few rather nasty new guns, (A shotgun that does 11446x19 damage without buffs! Among other things!)and currently she's sitting pretty at level 53.

Speaking of Borderlands 2...

Level 10 Gunzerker. Getting the side-missions around Sanctuary done first before continuing on with the main story.

No More Heroes 2: Desperate Struggle [Wii]:
The sequel to the reason I bought a Wii.

Reached the final boss. His last phase? FFFFF--
Well, I got past the Jeane and Henry fights in a single sitting when I played the first one, so I'll just have to tough this one out.

I got Borderlands 2 on PS3 on the first day played it for 10 minutes haven't touched it since, has anything really changed on it?

Ten minutes is the equivalent of not playing it at all. Even if something did change, you played so little you wouldn't know the difference. You don't even get your action skill within ten minutes!

I got my fill with the first one, but once they decide to release the entire kriffing game, maybe I'll grab it on a Steam sale.

It was more like 2 hours, but I just put 10 minutes because that probably the amount of time I was interested/ having fun with the game.

How far in did you get?

DC Universe Online:
New DLC, Origins Crisis: Let's get down and dirty:

-I haven't had a chance to use them much yet, but everyone is just gushing about Quantum Powers. They look really cool, at the very least.

-There are T5 Solos now, simulations where you play as either the Huntress or Bizarro. Both are a total pain (It changes your gear and loadout to what they would use, and enemies hit HARD) and the payout isn't particularly good (1 Mark of Reality, you need at least 40 to get a piece of T5 gear) but the drops from bosses are all item level 81, which is very nice. (Up until now, the highest you could get was 79, and those rare drops from exactly two raids)

-I haven't tried the new Alerts yet, and certainly not the new Raids since, well, those have a CR requirement of 86, and my two mains are only CR85.
